Who It Suits. This Lagoon 46 works well for larger groups or multi-family charters who want stable, comfortable cruising without a steep learning curve. The five cabins and nine berths give you genuine sleeping space rather than a squeeze, and catamarans are forgiving boats for less experienced sailors.
Standout Features. You get a 2020 build so systems are current, and the catamaran's wide beam means generous saloon space and decent deck area for lounging between swims. The Portisco base in northeast Sardinia is a solid jumping-off point for the Costa Smeralda and Maddalena archipelago without being at the pricey end of that coast.
Value For Money. At 6000 euros per week from a professional operator, this is fairly pitched for a modern four-berth cat in a Mediterranean summer slot. You're paying the right money for the boat size and age; there's no hidden markup here, though the 5000-euro deposit is standard and worth budgeting for upfront.
One Honest Point. The equipment list reads thin; no specifics on what's included beyond basics, so check directly with Boomerang whether you get autopilot, good navigation kit, water toys, or barbecue before booking. It's not a red flag, just means you need to clarify what "equipped" actually means for your needs.

Based at Marina di Portisco, Italy. Dream Lagoon is operated by Boomerang.
Marina di Portisco sits on Sardinia's northeast coast and provides excellent access to the Maddalena archipelago, reachable in 15-20 nautical miles on a typical northwesterly breeze. Week 1 charters work well as sheltered day hops between granite-studded islands with good holding in sandy bays, or longer passages south to the Costa Smeralda if conditions favour. The marina itself offers full facilities and lies close enough to Porto Cervo for provisioning, making it a practical base for both relaxed cruising and more ambitious sailing.
